    Default Asterisk beside Users Name

    Hi,

    When I log on and see the users currently on the forums I see cool1*.

    Why does he have an asterisk beside his user name? I searched but coudln't find anything on why this is so. What does the * mean?

    If you look at this page:
    http://toymods.net/forums/online.php?

    It says that the asterisk means "User is invisible to others".

    Ok, just on the subject of user names. I've noticed that some members have "Toymods Club Member #***" with their member number showing up under there name in their posts. Is there any special reason this shows up?
    If it feels good "DO IT" Unless it harms others.(or upsets the RTA)

    Club members can edit their user title in User CP -> Edit Profile -> Custom user title.
    Whoever you are referring to must have chosen to put their member number in their user title.

    Hi,

    Hi,

    I thought it was a girl sitting there for a while. Quick make him invisible, he's embarassing himself and the rest of us.

    here you go for those who want to
    Add Cool1 to Your Ignore List
    Time is priceless yet it costs us nothing.
    You can do anything you want with it but you can't own it.
    You can spend it but you can't keep it.

    Err thats not what we want, we aren't trying to ignore him. We are talking about the list of online users down the bottom of the forum page. Assuming he has chosen to be invisible ie appear like he is offline when he is online then his name shouldn't appear in the list.

    However it still does it just has the * next to his username.
